Number in set: 50 normal plus 50 gold (+ 3 withdrawn cards).
Size: 50mm wide x 60mm high with rounded corners.
Details: Issued in packs of Bluebird chips. Album also available see extract from www.bluebird.co.nz below. Cards are numbered on the back in very small print (you'll probably need a magnifying glass to see it). Gold versions are also available in specially marked packs; odds of finding one is one in three packs.
Errors noted are Chris King gold card with inverted holographic images (see scan below) and a badly miscut card showing about 50% of two different cards.
Three cards were withdrawn and replaced by other cards of the same number. A limited number of the withdrawn cards did however make it into packs (see scans below) but most were scratched before issue. The withdrawn cards are:
-
No 12 Keith Robinson
-
No 33 Callum Bruce
-
No 39 Matt Saunders
